From Street to Sanctuary: 8 Puppies & Their Mama Seeking Forever Homes!
This amazing mama was found living on the streets of Bakersfield, pregnant and alone. Thankfully, Animal Control stepped in and she found her way to our rescue with her 8 newborn pups.
Lynelle has been a good momma to her pups but she will never be doing that again. How she ended up a stray is beyond us. She loves humans, is great on leash and off! She is a great cuddler, great with other dogs of all sizes and even likes kids.
This little family is ready to find their forever homes.
All adoptions include:
Spay/Neuter once they are 8 weeks old and big enough for surgery. �Microchip �Age appropriate Vaccines�Dewormer �Collar/Leash �Dog Bed �Toys�Bag of puppy food �Potty Pads �Free vet exam at Chico Pet Vet
Want to give one of these pups (or their wonderful mama) a loving home?
Please contact their foster mom Raquel at 530-715-1545

You can IMPACT their world.
This Giving Season, you have the chance to make a life-changing difference for animals in need. Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue works tirelessly to save animals from euthanasia and find them loving homes.

Your generosity helps us:

Rescue animals from high-risk situations.
Provide necessary medical care, food, and shelter.
Give animals a second chance at life through adoption.
This Week's Giving Spotlight: Shay Shay, Emoji, and Tamuki

This Giving Season, we want to share the heartfelt story of three sweet senior dogs who were given a second chance at life thanks to the power of rescue and community support.

This summer, our area was deeply impacted by the Park Fire, a large wildfire that led to widespread evacuations for both humans and animals. Shay Shay, Emoji, and Tamuki were three cherished companions whose lives were forever changed by the fire. While they and their owner were evacuated safely, it soon became clear that their human, suffering from dementia, could no longer care for them.

Her family, facing the heartbreaking reality of getting their mother settled, had to leave the dogs at an emergency shelter, hoping for a solution. But the uncertainty for Shay Shay, Emoji, and Tamuki grew. One of the owner’s daughters reached out to us for help, and we quickly stepped in.

Thanks to our dedicated fosters and supporters, we were able to provide them with the care they desperately needed:

Medical evaluations and treatments for all three dogs, including care for heart conditions.
Extensive dental work for one of the seniors to ensure they could live pain-free.
Today, their journey has led to brighter days:

One has found a loving forever home and is thriving.
One remains in a caring foster home, awaiting adoption.
One is being lovingly cared for in the senior area of our sanctuary facility, where they’ll have safety and comfort for the rest of their days.
Their story is a testament to the life-changing impact of rescue and the generosity of people like you.

This Giving Season, you can make a difference for animals like Shay Shay, Emoji, and Tamuki. Your support allows us to step in during times of crisis, provide necessary medical care, and offer a second chance to those who need it most.

Join us and be a hero for animals. Donate today at WagsandWhiskersPetRescue.com.

Together, we can give them hope, health, and love.

* Thanks to the and Whiskers Pet Rescue Alumni page we are able to see updates of some of our favorite dogs that have found their forever homes. We were able to get an update and these wonderful pictures from the Alumni page. Today’s spotlight is Carrot Cake. Carrot Cake was brought in with his mom and 8 siblings at one day old! Thankfully Carrot cake and all of his siblings have found their forever homes, but we still have his mom Red velvet (last picture) in our rescue still looking for her forever home.
* We encourage all of our adopters to post updates of the wonderful dogs they have adopted from us. Our staff love to hear and see updates of dogs that they have cared for! After seeing Carrot Cake all grown up you would never guess that Red Velvet is his mom 😂 If you would like to send updates please leave them in the comments or on the and Whiskers Pet Rescue Alumni page !

$5 Friday for Diabetic Lyla!!

Lyla, a stray found injured on HWY 99 in Bakersfield, is searching for her forever family. We rescued her with a severe paw laceration and provided immediate care. While awaiting adoption, we discovered Lyla is diabetic.

Living on the streets with this condition would have been incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Diabetes significantly impacts her adoption chances, so we are hoping to raise enough funds to cover her insulin for a few months.

Lyla is a playful and affectionate dog who will bring joy to your life. She loves to go out for walks but will also gladly cuddle on the couch.

If you're up to the challenge and can offer Lyla a loving forever home, please leave a comment or send us a direct message.

Even if you can't adopt, consider fostering or donating towards her ongoing medical care.

Tim Tam: The Last Survivor

Tim Tam and his two siblings came to us after being rescued from an unimaginable fate—they were going to be dumped and left to fend for themselves. Despite our best efforts, his two siblings were too sick to survive.

Tim Tam, however, is a fighter. This little warrior is battling illness with everything he has. He’s currently on medications, and we’re doing all we can to give him the chance he deserves. Tim Tam also has a peculiar scar on his head, a reminder of the rough start he’s endured in his young life.

Please consider contributing to Tim Tam’s recovery and helping us continue saving vulnerable animals like him. Together, we can give Tim Tam the second chance his siblings never got.

Donate now to Tim Tam’s medical fund or purchase an item from his Wishlist!

We are celebrating Giving Tuesday until the end of December! It’s time to give back and what better way to give back then by saving a life. With your tax-deductible donations, together we make a difference.

This week's Tuesday spotlight goes to Baker!

Baker was found as a stray in a busy industrial area with multiple lanes of traffic with nearby train tracks. The poor guy is deaf, imagine how confusing it would be, scared and alone.

Being rescued allowed him another chance for a happy ending. He was evaluated by our vet and it turns out he is in end stage heart failure. We are asking for a special person to give him the love he needs and deserves!! This poor boy is living with chronic dry eye, end-stage heart failure, and is deaf but don’t let that fool you; this sweet boy is full of joy and resilience. He may need a little extra care, but in return, he’ll offer endless affection, loyalty, and gratitude. He's looking for a special family who understands his medical needs and can provide the care and attention he deserves in his golden years.

💌 This Giving Season, be the hero these animals need.

395 days later!!

This fun-loving, energetic girl is STILL looking for her forever home!

Merida is a German short-hair pointer mix? with enough energy to power a small city 😂. She has been with us since she was only 3-4 months old and is now over a year old.

Merida gets along with other high-energy dogs but needs a proper introduction. As a German short-hair pointer mix, she is incredibly driven and smart. She needs a home that can meet her energy needs and give her all the affection she deserves.

Can't foster or adopt? That's ok! Send her a toy or treat from our wishlist! She is a foodie!

🌟 This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Reach Our Goal! 🌟

At Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue, we’re aiming to raise $20,000 to improve our facilities for the animals in our care—especially our larger dogs. With your support, we can:

🐾 Build a permanent, covered area to protect animals from the sun and wind.
🐾 Create an enrichment training area with an agility course to keep them active and engaged.
🐾 Install durable fencing to withstand strong winds, ensuring a safe space for play and relaxation.

🚨 URGENT NEED 🚨
Our Sanctuary facility in Los Molinos was hit hard by a recent windstorm, which destroyed several structures that provided housing and play space for our bigger dogs. 🐕💔 These temporary shelters were essential for their comfort and safety, and now we’re facing winter weather with a critical need for more permanent, weather-resistant structures.
